Mini almond shortbreads

(for about 120 tiny biscuits)

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups flour

3/4 cup golden sugar

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 cup ground almond

1 cup salted butter, room temperature

2 egg yolks

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

icing sugar, for dusting

1.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, ground almonds and
cinnamon. Transfer to a mixer, add butter and pulse until mixture resembles
coarse meal. Add egg yolks and vanilla and mix until dough just comes together.

2.
Preheat oven to 175°C.

3.
The dough should be crumbly and is going to be a bit tricky to work with, but
will give great results as the biscuits will have the perfect balance between
almonds and butter. Scoop out a little bit of dough and roll it between your
palms. Flatten it on a surface covered with baking parchment, using your hands,
until around 0,5cm thick. Use the cookie cutter to cut out shapes.

4.
Repeat the process, scooping out only a bit of dough at a time.

5.
Lay all the snowflakes on a tray lined with baking parchment, and bake for
around 5-7 minutes. The edges must start to be very slightly brown. Let cool
completely.
